@CoryBMorgan I think most people do not realize how high the overall child mortality rate used to be.

[ABSparky @ab_sparky]

@CoryBMorgan I think most people wouldn't even deny that some children died while attending those schools and that there are cemeteries at some of them that were once marked but aren't anymore. But the idea that the schools were tools of mass murder and genocide is a hoax.

@S1800074610635 @KellyMcCauleyMP ??? The agreement states the US gets 50% of revenues, not profits. Revenues will always be greater than profits.

@S1800074610635 @KellyMcCauleyMP I hope you aren't insinuating that Carney didn't bend over for the States.

@mneufeld123 And yet AB and SK continue to lead the country in economic growth. If not for Smith and Moe the current national recession would be much worse.

@NikitaBarber15 @raghu_venugopal Albertans already contribute vastly more per capita to this country than anybody else.

@KM0331 @raghu_venugopal Maybe if the taxpayers' elected representatives stopped making stupid laws that make it unprofitable for private industry to build and own the pipelines, the taxpayers wouldn't have to.

@cwxy6qpb7g @ACart888 Supply management is legalized price fixing. It is immoral for the producers in an industry to gang up and force consumers to pay a certain price and keep other would-be producers out.

[ABSparky @ab_sparky]

@cwxy6qpb7g Albertans and Saskatchewanians have had enough of paying for the stupidity of the rest of the country.

@wyatt_claypool I fully realize that there is much less government control of alcohol in Alberta than the other provinces. I'm just saying it could still be better.

[ABSparky @ab_sparky]

@SheilaGunnReid I'm getting sick and tired of us Albertans being expected to pay for the stupidity of the rest of the country.

[ABSparky @ab_sparky]

@RodKahx It's not "consumer driven" when governments have removed the consumers' freedom to choose whether or not to buy American alcohol.

[ABSparky @ab_sparky]

@Dave_Eby How about you let the consumers decide what they want to buy?

[ABSparky @ab_sparky]

@Shawn_in_TO @MarkJCarney Sorry but it's not possible to be sane and support Carney completely. Those 2 things are mutually exclusive.

@culanicki @switchblade999 @ShaneWenzel Municipalities basically exist as an extension of and at the pleasure of the provincial government. There is no protection of municipal government in the Canadian constitution.

[ABSparky @ab_sparky]

@culanicki @switchblade999 @ShaneWenzel You call Danielle authoritarian, yet you're the one who doesn't seem to like referenda, basically the most democratic means of governing there is.

[ABSparky @ab_sparky]

@culanicki @switchblade999 @ShaneWenzel There's no ban on books, you're still free to buy whatever literature you want, you're just not allowed to make smut available to other people's kids.

[ABSparky @ab_sparky]

@VotetoStayAB The east will never let Alberta lead the country.

[ABSparky @ab_sparky]

@Lifequeste @CoryBMorgan No, it's about how the government spends our money, not about how individual employees of government organizations spend their income. Why should we be obligated to fund an organization that is actively working to inhibit the national interest?
